==========================
 -> Ah, thanks. It was certainly Gateway to Storyland, and
 RH> Thank ABEBooks.com and their keyword search.  I've found more old
 RH> books that way.  

There was another one, which I discover (going online in
the way as you have all taught me) to have been Stories
That Never Grow Old.

 -> I remember (of course) the picture of the big doughnut-
 -> shaped blob of butter in the Little Black Sambo story.
 -> I seem to recall that Sambo ate 63 or 163 pancakes or
 -> something like that.
 RH> I've never actually read the story.  My mother did, but by the time I
 RH> came along it was considered to incorrect to give to children.

Also through the Web I find that it was 169 pancakes that
he ate, and that definitely dates my reading the story to
before 1959, because it was about that time that I would
have learned my times tables and after which would have
remembered that number forevermore as 13x13.

 RH> Friends don't let friends drink decaf.  I normally only drink one cup
 RH> a day now, but used to go through four or five in college.  

Decaf is the only way I can get coffee, so I take it.

 -> All you have to do is make gelatin dessert according to the recipe
 -> on a pack of unflavored gelatin - I guess an envelope of gelatin,
 -> cold coffee to soften, a cup of hot coffee to dissolve, cold coffee
 -> to fill, and sugar to taste. No need to get the premix.
 RH> True, if you like coffee-flavored aspics.  It's not really my thing. 

Coffee jelly is delicious.

 RH> I've tried the premix, but just out of a sense of curiosity.  I'd much
 RH> rather eat coffee yogurt.
 
 -> I saw Coke Blak at Wal-Mart #1 and thought that the price
 -> was a typo - almost $5 for a 4-pack, or twice what cheap
 -> beer costs.
 RH> That's what it cost at the local A&P affiliate too - it was higher
 RH> elsewhere.  I don't think at that price it will sell well unless they
 RH> significantly improve the taste.

What a silly idea that was! I wonder if it's significantly
different from putting a shot of coffee syrup or maybe a
half teaspoon of Taster's Choice into a Coke.

Earth Balls
cat: raw, dessert
yield: 1 batch

1 c walnuts (unsoaked)
1/2 c sunflower seeds
3 Tb raw cacao powder
10 moist dates
2 baby bananas or 1 md banana
1 Tb dark agave nectar (optional)
1 pn sea salt

In a large food processor add the walnuts, sunflower seeds,
cacao powder, and salt. Process until fine. Next, add the
dates, bananas, and agave nectar. Process the mixture until
the consistency of fudge. The mixture will be very thick
and sticky. With damp hands, take a small amount of it and
roll it into balls. Set on a plate, sprinkle with a little
bit of mesquite pod meal and devour! You may also coat these
balls in dried coconut, raw cacao powder, or chopped
pistachios. YUM!
